The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration

Named one of the planet’s most breathtaking migrations, the Christmas Island red crab exodus is a natural phenomenon that continues to astonish.

Making it onto CNN Travel’s recent list of the “10 most spectacular wildlife migrations,” the island’s annual red crab migration is an astounding event that involves the movement of millions of vividly colored crabs as they leave their in-land homes to breed and release eggs into the sea.

An Australian territory, Christmas Island lies some 2,600 kilometers north-west of Perth in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While just 1,500 people live there, it is home to an estimated 120 million crabs.

Ok I know crabs are pretty harmless but ahhhh.

When I lived in Winthrop Harbor, we were driving home from the beach and there were hundreds, if not thousands of frogs crossing the road between the swamps. If you didn’t know any better, you would think you were on a gravel road.

Needless to say, their ranks were thinned out by the time we left.

Something is wrong. I don’t see an A380 anywhere.

I think I worked with that guy.

I don’t really pay attention to racing anymore but I check the news and standings from time to time. Jason Leffler died last night. He had a six year old son. This sucks. RIP Jason.

It’s a shame his last Cup race was with a start-and-park last week. He was a great sprint car driver and a four time USAC champion. RIP Lefturn.

rather sad that UA just got rid of their last B737-5.

the -500 is pretty much a slightly up-to-date -200 with CFM56 engines.

I always did a double take when I would see one of these taxi by.

I really hope that Steven Moffat does not read this because he always does the opposite of what I want because he is a terrible, terrible troll man. But here it goes.

Yes, please:

Richard Ayoade (duh, number one choice)

A woman. I am all for any woman being mentioned except for Olivia Coleman…

Catherine Tate as the next Doctor with a couple of Adipose as companions.
